Distribute broke basic features of easy_install, which makes it
useless for my case (see for example #142). Those are fixed in
setuptools.

Also, as a rule, I like to be in control of what I use as a programmer
if I wish so, and the whole business of distribute claiming to be
setuptools is really obnoxious. I can't understand how the community
"allowed" distribute to take over setuptools like it does.
